Haemolytic uremic syndrome often affects children causing a relevant morbidity and mortality. We compared the time to diagnosis by multiplex-PCR and stool culture in 15 children from two centres. Multiplex-PCR accelerated the time to diagnosis by 94 (95% confidence interval, 80–119; P = 0.0007) hours. Multiplex-PCR offers a time advantage of stool culture that may aid in earlier identification of outbreak clusters.

护理点多重 PCR 能够比粪便培养早 94 小时识别溶血性尿毒症综合征的细菌

溶血性尿毒症综合征经常影响儿童，导致相关的发病率和死亡率。我们比较了来自两个中心的 15 名儿童通过多重 PCR 和粪便培养的诊断时间。多重 PCR 将诊断时间缩短了 94（95% 置信区间，80-119；P  = 0.0007）小时。多重 PCR 提供了粪便培养的时间优势，可能有助于早期识别爆发群。
